Jenna Bush Hager

Every community in America has its own brush-with-a-president story, whether the man spoke, ate or slept in town or wrote a letter to one of its residents. Naperville is no exception.

And with Presidents Day on Monday, it's a chance to reflect Naperville's links to the nation's highest elected office.

Most of the city's direct connections with the commander in chief relate to communiques a president sent.

"I do not know of any sitting president who visited Naperville (while they were president)," said Bryan Ogg, Naperville Settlement's research curator. If they did come to town it was either before they were elected or after they'd left office.
